Gerit Pfuhl

Dear Konstantinos, have you found a method?

Konstantinos Mersinas

Hi Gerit,

thank you for asking - initially, I was amazed not to receive any replies on this.

Well no, I haven't found anything really.

So, I am developing my own approach on the worst-case thinking hypothesis at the moment.

do you know of the LOT-R?http://www.psy.cmu.edu/faculty/scheier/scales/LOTR_Scale.pdf

I have come across the LOT-R.

My focus is mostly oriented towards Salience effects of worst outcomes in choices.

Indeed, this instrument could be used in combination with an experiment for worst-case thinking. Thank you for the post!
